      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Comparitively good salary for a public sector company. - Good staff benefits package. - Creative freedom to do what we feel is best. - Friendly co-workers.

      Cons

      - Hands tied by bureacracy. - Severely outdated computer software/hardware, with seemingly no intention to upgrade. - Management are too focused on "quick wins", which reduces quality of work output. - Non-technical management staff for technical teams makes interaction difficult at times. - Little adherence to established practices and standards. - Engrained anti-progress culture when it requires adaptation.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      In some cases a feeling of satisfaction when doing the job well. variety of work if in a large pathology epartment.

      Cons

      The hours, Pay structure for out of core hour work is not good compared to private sector. Being taken for granted by senior management. Decisions made at higher levels by management who have no real idea of what goes on at lower levels. Despite what anybody says, the service is driven by budget not patient needs.
